I am officially... and starting out pics

fat and out of shape!! I mean I knew I was but not to this extent. I'm 5'2 and 177 pounds. I have been looking for some exercises to do and found an app called Nike Training Club. I chose a beginners workout for 30 minutes and lets just say I wasnt even halfway through before sweating was pouring off my face and my heart was galloping to the moon.

I hate that I have allowed myself to get to this point. I have noticed lately that I have been getting short of breath when walking recently and that's not good considering that I am only 25 (bday was 2 days ago).

I currently have a headache from hell and I'm tired but I'm sure tomorrow will be much worse with muscle soreness. When just starting out is it ok to do 30 minutes every other day until my body gets used to it?

I have a question for ladies with bigger boobs. What do you wear while working out? While working out my boobs are all over the place lol so I need a good sports bra or something? Any suggestions?? Thanks!

I ordered the 30 Day Shred DVD yesterday so I will start that once it comes in. I will also be walking, gym & eating healthy. I am 5'5 and weigh 223. I want to lose about 80 lbs total. I had triplets almost 3 yrs ago & that pregnancy left my belly in terrible condition. I was already overweight beforehand but not this badly. I really want to get this weight off!

Sounds like you are already off to a great start! You made a plan, found resources to help you, and you made a public announcement. :) the three p's - personal, peer, and public announcement will help with accountability. I don't know you and I already can sense you will hit your goal. Congrats!
And I don't have large boobs but I did hear Macy's has a new line of apparel and the sports bras are very supportive. I'll try to find the blog post I read about it.

Didn't know about the 3 P's but cool! Yea I definitely feel motivated this time to get it done :)

Isn't 30 day shred hard? I'm assuming with triplets though they keep you active? I have a somewhat sedentary lifestyle so I want to start off slow and build up.

Good luck on your journey as well!
